Have you been taking medications for so long that you don't even know what you are taking anymore? Or why you are taking it? And for what condition? Maybe you are supposed to take certain medications at specific times of the day. Do you still take them as directed? It's easy to forget the specifics when you are taking multiple medications.

Keeping on top of your medication list, why you take them and taking as prescribed are all important aspects of being your best medical information advocate. Therefore, you should always keep a list with you or have it accessible online.

Remember, you are your own best information manager. It is up to you to keep your information current and updated in order to get the best results and information from others.

Make that date with your pharmacist and find out how you can optimize your medications and use them wisely
